I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow because for the past 2 days I've been seeing random, sporadic flashes of light when I blink which is a symptom of Retinal Detachment which I am hoping and praying I don't have since the only way to fix it is through surgery, and surgery on the eye is not my idea of a good time. LOL. So I am freaking out just a tad bit, but I hope it's not that and is related to something more benign like stress or headaches. When it first happened, I honestly thought I was crazy and just seeing things out of the corner of my eye, I didn't even know that the flashes of light could be caused from my own eye! And it's been that way the past 2 days, and I read if it's left untreated can cause blindness- so I am seeing a doc tomorrow! I am hopeful as I do not have the most common symptom of retinal detachment which is floaters, and can obstruct vision. *Crosses fingers*

Anyway, at the request of a reader, I am going to start doing more OOTD (outfit of the day) posts. I think the reason I lack in that department is because I am always rushing out the door and never think to take a pic. And because doing self full body shots isn't easy! Usually I have to get the fiance to help me out but he leaves later than I do. Boo.

I look like a cheeseball in this pic, like I am representing MAC's Tartan Tale collection HAHA. I love that my purse matches my boots exactly, I didn't plan it that way and I bought them separately so I was pleased it didn't look a bit off. The boots look weird in this pic, they are over the knee and have a more pointed top but in this pic it looks like a straight across cuff, probably the angle it was taken.

Nessa, you look adorable. I love the camel color boots, they look very versatile. :) I hope your eyes get better. My eyes just healed due to a scratch on my cornea and it took 2 weeks....thank goodness for glasses.

Hi Nessa! sooo GLAD to know you're back =) You're one of my favorite bloggers so thank you for blogging again. Life may be far from perfect at times but what matters is the way you handle and live it =) Life is beautiful and you're so right about knowing what's "important" to you and that's Family coz the whole world can turn its back from you but family will always be there. God bless always! Im loving the Outfit of the day posts. Keep inspiring!~Chloe~

Good luck at your appointment. I underwent laser eye surgery this past week to fix a small retinal tear/hole in one of my eyes. The surgery itself was totally painless and the eye itself was just a little sore for a day or two. I was depressed that I still have to be on the look out for floaters/future tears but getting it fixed early helps prevent the retina from detaching, which is a much more complicated/condition surgery.

Oh no!!! Hope your doctors appointment went well and that it wasnt retinal detachment. I know that some people who suffer from migraines also see flashes of lights before the onset of a migraine, and you mentioned something about headaches in your post! Hope it wasnt either of those things and something a lot simpler! =)
